I just saw this great news. Patty Wetterling started working for the state of Minnesota on Monday as the coordinator of the Minnesota Department of Health's sexual violence prevention unit.

For anyone who doesn't know who she is, her son Jacob Wetterling at age 11 was abducted while bicycling with his brother and a friend and has never been found. Four months later Patty and Jerry Wetterling founded the Jacob Wetterling Foundation.

Her media savvy will be a great asset since communication is so important when it comes to prevention.

Abyss2hope is centered on date rape, but isn't limited to discussing crimes which can be described this way since the causes and attitudes related to date rape are interconnected with domestic violence and other types of sexual violence.
